Green blue Fully charged 90% charged

5. Average charging time is approximately 30 minutes to reach 90% charge and an additional 10 minutes to charge completely. We suggest flying at a 90% charged battery. A 90% charged battery can power your ship for 6-8 minutes depending on environment and flight aggressiveness. Never leave Li-poly batteries sitting in charger for extended periods of time.

9 PROPELLER INSTALLATION AND REPLACEMENt A B

Your Tie Advanced’s propeller system is a precision instrument that may need repair or replacement from time to time for optimal flight function. Crash landing from high-speed aerial flights may cause damage to your propellers. 1. The ship has four propellers, two “A” Propellers, and two “B” Propellers. 2. When replacing the propeller blades, make sure to put A propellers on A Motors, and B Propellers on B motors, as per the diagram at the right. 3. To replace the blade use your multi-tool to gently pull off the broken blade and snap the new correct blade in place by pushing down firmly.

Multi-Tool: B A The multi-tool is used to help install and remove the propellers from the ship.

1. To remove the propeller, wedge the thin side of the multi-tool between the motor mount and the propeller and push the propeller upwards. 2. To install the propeller use the opposite side of the multi-tool to push down on the propeller blade. You will notice some pressure and then the blade will move into place. The proper position of the propeller is when the base of the blade shaft is seated slightly below the motor hole. Always check to make sure that the blade spins freely.

10 WARNING! Do not fly your ship in foul weather!

Important! When syncing your ship with the controller, always check that the ship is on a flat level surface. This ensures that the 6-axis gyro is properly calibrated. Your ship utilizes an automatic 2.4 GHz channel selection system 2 second push that allows up to 12 people to fly side-by-side on/off in the same wireless range with no interference.

12 screwdriver This handy screwdriver attaches to your controller and can be used to remove screws from the battery cover or to tighten the screw on the phone holder. It can also be used to remove parts on your drone if repairs are needed.

Speaker The controller’s speaker will play every sound, including music, explosions, and more.

headphone Jack The controller’s headphone jack functions in the same way as the speaker, but will only work when the headphones are plugged in. When headphones are connected, the controller’s speaker will switch off and all sound will be routed through the headphones. When the headphones are unplugged, sound will resume through the speaker.

Neck strap attachment For use with a lanyard, to help support the controller around your neck. (Lanyard not included)

calibrate If you experience a hard landing or crash, your drone begins to drift in a particular direction, you will need to land and recalibrate the gyro. On a flat level surface with the drone’s motors stopped, hold down the button for 2 seconds to calibrate the gyro.

13 Barometric Pressure sensor on/off (repulsorlift on/off)

The barometric pressure sensor maintains the altitude of your ship above the ground, simulating the anti-gravity effect of a repulsorlift engine. This also lets you adjust your altitude incrementally during flight. Push the gimbal up or down and then release it, and your ship will hover at the new altitude. Barometric Pressure off Having the barometric pressure sensor activated enables your ship to perform an auto-start, but it also limits your angle of inclination and makes it less agile at performing stunts.

Barometric Pressure ON

smartPhone holder

To use the smartphone holder, extend the pull tab on the top back side of the controller and pull it out until you hear a click. Pull the end out and place your smartphone inside. It will close around your smartphone using spring pressure. You can adjust the angle of your phone and lock it into place by tightening the screw at the base of the phone holder using the screwdriver in the side of the controller.

14 Learning how to fly (T-mode) If this is your first time flying please read the following instructions. If you are an experienced pilot feel free to skip ahead to the next section.

T-mode is a special flying mode intended to help ease new pilots into learning basic flight controls in a safe environment. To operate in T-mode you must first activate the repulsorlifts on the controller (see repulsorlifts on page 100-foot radius 14). When in T-mode, your ship will help you to learn how to fly by moving in a controlled slow rate with added stability. T-mode allows you to familiarize yourself with the various functions of the control sticks before moving on to normal speed ratings.

INVISIBLE CEILING AND FLOOR: When flying upwards in T-mode, your altitude is automatically governed by an invisible ceiling at approximately 6 feet (2 meters). In addition to the ceiling there is also an invisible floor that prevents your ship from touching the ground, creating a safe area to fly. In order to land you ship in T-mode you will need to activate the auto-landing sequence (See auto-landing on page 21.) To enter T-mode, hold down the speed change button for 3 seconds. You will know you have entered T-mode when all the lights around the power button turn blue. To exit T-mode simply press the speed control button once again and you will hear a beep and the LED speed indicator T-mode lights around the power button will return to red.

15 protective cage For beginner pilots we strongly suggest using the protective cage. Make sure you install your protective cage before flight. This cage protects the propeller blades and the outside of the ship from taking damage when crashing into walls and other objects. Installing the cage: To install the cage place the ship in the cage with the central bar running from front to the diagram c back (not side to side) and with the 4 C-shaped plastic connectors slide over each of the motor arms (see diagram a). Proceed to securely fasten the cage by pinching the 4 C-shaped connectors with your thumb and forefinger until you feel a small snap indicating that the connector is locked into the motor arm (see diagram b). Note: Make sure the cage C-shaped connectors are seated all the way at the highest position (see diagram c)

16 For Multi-Person Play Before beginning, ensure that all ships and controllers are powered off. Make sure that no other 2.4GHz devices are in the area. Each person must sync their vehicle individually, one at a time, in order to avoid interference. Follow steps on page 11 (“SYNC TO SHIP: FOR Speed 1 Speed 2 SINGLE-PERSON PLAY”), making sure to keep away from others while ensuring that no one else is syncing at the same time. After one player syncs their vehicles, it should be left on until all players have finished syncing their own vehicles. Should a mistake or interference occur, all Speed 3 T-mode players should turn off their controllers and vehicles for 60 seconds and begin the process Red LEDs- Stop flashing again. when synced to vehicles

Preparing for flight checklist Verify that the controller has 4“AA” batteries 4 AA”batteries and the ship’s battery is fully charged. Power on Make sure your ship and controller are both powered on. 100-foot radius No rivers Operate in a large space, with an open radius of at least 100 feet. Good weather Check the environment to ensure it has no obstacles or a river. Set your ship on a clean flat surface before takeoff. 100-foot DO NOT FLY YOUR Ship DURING RAIN, SNOW, OR HEAVY radius WINDS.

17 FLIGHT CONTROL These are the basic flight functions for your ship. While learning to fly it is best to begin with a large space, at least until you get used to the basics. Once you master your ship you can tackle more advanced maneuvers. Practice makes perfect! Once you have these steps mastered, move to the next level.

18 FLYING TIPS Operate your ship in a wide space. Ideally, the space will have at least a 100 foot radius. If you are flying your ship with others, make sure spectators are located behind you. For best performance, it is recommended that you operate the ship during zero wind conditions, as wind can greatly affect flight performance.

r u n n i n g l i g h t s White LEDS RECOGNIZING THE FRONT AND front BACK OF THE Ship Even though your drone has four rotors, it still has a “front” or forward-facing direction, and a back”or backwards-facing direction. White LED running lights will help you easily identify the front of the drone. The rear of the drone can be easily identified by the red LED lights. NOTE: The front of the drone displays white LEDs. The back displays red LEDs.

r e a r l i g h t s Back Red LEDS SPEED SELECT BUTTON Your ship has 3 speed settings: SLOW, MEDIUM and HIGH. The default setting is SLOW. Change the speeds using the speed select button. Select your speed according to your flying skill. The speed select button is located on the top left side of the controller.

Speed Select

19 Speed change When the controller is powered on, it will always start on Speed Mode 1. If the controller was in Speed Mode 3 before turning it off, it will return to Speed Mode 1 when it is turned back on. Speed 1 Speed 2 Push the button to change speeds between Modes 1-3. If you are in Speed Mode 3 and press the button, you will cycle over to Speed Mode 1. Flying speed is indicated by the LEDs surrounding the controller’s power button.

Note that when the aux weapons ______are activated, the IR transceiver will be on/off on/off deactivated, and vice versa. white LEDS aux weapons

Emergency stop Simultaneously push the left and right gimbals (control sticks) down and in to activate the emergency stop. This will cut all power to the motors and the ship will fall to the ground. This is only to be used in case of emergency, as the ship may get damaged when it hits the ground.

20 Auto-start/Auto-land

When repulsorlifts are activated, push button once when on the ground to auto- start. Push button for 2 seconds when in the air to auto-land.

Auto-start

Auto-start only works when the barometric pressure sensor is activated. If barometric pressure sensor is activated, auto-start will work only if the left stick (gimbal) is in the center position. The right control stick will function normally during the auto-start sequence, allowing you to control the direction of your take-off. After auto-start button is pressed, motors will activate and the ship will take off and hover at a height of approximately 6 feet. If the left stick (gimbal) is pushed up or down, the auto-start will be canceled and normal controls will resume.

Auto-Land

Push button for 2 seconds while in the air to auto-land. When auto-land is pushed it will override the sticks (gimbals) control, unless the left stick (gimbal) is moved up or down during the auto-land operation. The right control stick will function normally during the auto-land sequence, allowing you to control the direction of your descent. If the barometric pressure sensor is off (for a manual take-off), then the left stick must be moved all the way down before the blades will unlock and allow you to control the throttle manually.

21 Clockwise roll (A)

Push the right trigger button while flying and your ship will perform a 360-degree roll in a clockwise motion while continuing its current movement. If the ship is flying forward it will continue to move forward as it performs the roll, and will perform similarly with any directional movement.

counterclockwise roll (B) Push the left trigger button while flying and your ship will perform a 360-degree roll in a counterclockwise motion while continuing its current trajectory. Clockwise Roll (A) Weapons Fire (c)

Your drone comes pre-installed with infrared battling transmitters and receivers as well as laser receivers. Only one type of weapon can be used at a time, meaning you can either fight with infrared weapons or auxiliary weapons. Push the button to fire the weapon. Let go and push again to fire a second time. Counterclockwise Roll (B) The weapons button activates either the infrared LED or the auxiliary weapons, depending on which weapons system is equipped. If auxiliary weapons are activated, the infrared LED transmitter and receiver will be deactivated. If the infrared LED transmitter is activated, the laser receivers will be deactivated. When weapons are fired, you will hear a sound from the controller’s speaker (or headphones if Weapons Fire (C) plugged in).

22 battling When battling with your vehicle it is best to fly outside in a wide open space of about 200-300 feet, in an open field with no obstruction such as trees, houses, open water, or power lines. When battling indoors it is recommended to do so in a very large open area such as a gymnasium or sports center with high ceilings and no obstructions.

IR battling With IR battling, the infrared transmitters in the front of the ship will send a signal and the infrared receiver beneath the ship will register a hit. IR battling is relatively easy because it sends a wide signal and the receiver points down underneath the ship. If you aim anywhere beneath your target ship from a range of less than 2-3 meters, you will most likely score a hit.

A few things to note about IR battling: Transmitters Sunlight greatly reduces the distance that an IR signal can travel. Battling outside in daytime means that you will need to be especially close to your opponent to score a hit. When battling indoors, IR signals can bounce off of walls (especially white walls). You can sometimes achieve a hit even if you weren’t directly aiming at your opponent, if you fire using the right angle. When IR battling, you will not be able to battle with any Star Wars ships that are set to use aux weapons battling mode.

23 Life LED’s

When the controller’s power is turned on, all 3 life LEDs will flash. Once synced, all 3 life LEDs will glow red. Reactions to being hit: When the ship is hit by an opponent, it will react and alter its flight. No additional hits can be inflicted on the ship during this time. Full life 1st hit

FIRST HIT: The ship will continue on its current trajectory, but will rock back and forth two times left to right in a fluid motion. The controller will vibrate for 3 seconds and play a unique sound effect through the speaker. During this time, 2nd hit 3rd hit the 3 life LEDs will flash and the ship will not react to any other hits. At the end of the maneuvers, only 2 life LEDs will remain lit, and the player who has struck your ship will receive a notification through their controller of a successful hit.

SECOND HIT: Similar to first hit, but the movement will be more aggressive. The 3 life LEDs will flash and the drone will not react to any other weapons. At the end of the rocking, only 1 life LED will remain lit, and the player who has struck your drone will receive a notification through their controller of a successful hit.

24 THIRD HIT AUTO LANDING: This is the final hit in battle. When you have been hit a 3rd time your drone will enter into auto-land mode and descend in a downward spiral.

TAKING OVER LANDING SEQUENCE Pulling your left throttle stick all the way down during auto-landing sequence will activate user controlled landing mode. This feature allows you to take control of your direction while you fall. This may be used to avoid hitting an obstacle.

In advanced mode (Reupulsorlift deactivated): When descending all the controls will remain active except the throttle, allowing you to move freely and create your own crash-landing pattern.

GAME RESET During a 3rd hit auto-landing you will have no access to throttle as your drones descends and stops. During this time, the 3 life LEDs will flash and the ship will not react to any other weapons fire. All flight controls will return to normal after the 10 seconds are up. Three new life LEDs will light up on your controller signifying that you may re-enter the battle.

25 He wont be able to follow !

Named after Adar Tallon, Imperial defector who bravely aided the Alliance, the Tallon Roll is a tricky technique that’s executed when an enemy pilot is approaching fast from the rear. If the pilot levels out and pulls up while rolling away from the direction of the turn, they can slip back in behind the enemy with no loss of distance or speed.
